Highly mineralized osteogenic sponge compositions and uses thereof

a sponge composition and high mineralization technology, applied in the field of osteogenic sponge compositions, can solve the problems of increasing the risk of disease transmission and immune reaction, increasing the risk of infection, and undesirable bone material surgically removed from the patient, and achieving the effects of accelerating resorption of the sponge, rapid resorption, and diminishing or eliminating the capacity of the sponge composition

Benefits of technology

[0013]A particular feature of the present invention relates to the discovery that the inclusion of an osteogenic factor, especially an osteoblast- and osteoclast-stimulating osteogenic factor, in a resorbable sponge composition causes a substantially accelerated resorption of the sponge. This rapid resorption can diminish or eliminate the capacity of the sponge composition to effectively stimulate and support new bone formation in a void filled with the sponge composition. This is particularly the case in primates, including humans, in which the rate of new bone formation is relatively slow. Objects of the present invention are to provide osteogenic sponge compositions effective for the induction of bone growth in mammals, particularly primates, including humans, and related methods and devices. These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent upon reading the descriptions herein.

Problems solved by technology

If the bone material is obtained from donors of the same species, such as an allograft, an increased risk of disease transmission and immune reaction exists.
Bone material surgically removed from the patient, known as an autograft, is also undesirable because a sufficient amount of autogenous bone may not be available and the additional surgery necessary to obtain the autograft increases the risk of infection.
The osteogenic potential of these compositions have been found to be less than satisfactory.

example 1

Preparation of Collagen Sponge / Bone Particle Composite

[0036]12 grams of deproteinized cortical bone chips, 1-3 mm in size, were added to 12 grams of collagen slurry (0.192 grams of collagen). This composite slurry was poured into a 7.5 cm×10.0 is cm mold, freeze dried, double sterile packaged, and sterilized by ETO gas sterilization.

example 2

Preparation of Collagen Sponge / Synthetic Ceramic Composite

[0037]12 grams of biphasic calcium phosphate particles, 1 mm in diameter, were added to 12 grams of collagen slurry (0.192 grams of collagen). This composite slurry was poured into a 7.5 cm×10.0 cm mold, freeze dried, double sterile packaged, and sterilized by ETO gas sterilization.

example 3

Preparation of Collagen Sponge / Bone Particle Composite

[0038]12 grams of deproteinized cortical bone chips, 1-3 mm in size, were added to 24 grams of collagen slurry (0.192 grams of collagen). This composite slurry was poured into a 7.5 cm×10.0 cm mold, freeze dried, double sterile packaged, and sterilized by ETO gas sterilization.

Abstract

Osteogenic sponge compositions having enhanced osteoinductive properties for use in bone repair are described. The compositions include a quickly resorbable porous carrier, a more slowly resorbed mineral scaffold and an osteogenic factor, preferably a bone morphogenetic protein. The compositions enable increased osteoinductive activity while retaining a reliable scaffold for the formation of new bone at an implant site. Methods for therapeutic use of the compositions are also described.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09 / 923,116, filed Aug. 6, 2001, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,563,455, the entire contents of which is hereby incorporated by reference. U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09 / 923,116 is a continuation of 35 U.S.C. §371 of International Application No. PCT / US00 / 03043, filed on Feb. 4, 2000, which claims priority from U.S. Patent Application No. 60 / 118,615 filed on Feb. 4, 1999, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to osteogenic compositions. Specifically, the present invention relates to an osteogenic sponge composition effective for the induction of new bone growth in animals.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Bone grafting has been commonly used to augment healing in the treatment of a broad range of musculoskeletal disorders. This procedure has several disadvantages. If the bone material is obtained ...
